Adam,
Does GA favor more the democrats or the republicans ?

This Map is going to get struck down too?

What would be the New Map?

Status of state action. So the state legislative defendants,  as expected,  want to appeal for a hold from the 11th but have yet to do so.

So this means redrawing the maps will proceed?

With the LA ruling I suppose it is likely GA gets an another black Seat?

There was a separate ruling in GA requiring the same, thus the flurry of posts here recently.

yes, but to add, the LA ruling has no or almost no bearing on the GA case. One is under the authority of the 5th, the other the 11th. The only connecting thread is that Milligan and subsequent Supreme Court orders means that both are forced into a position they did not expect to be in, and can't easily wiggle out of.

The 5th is more conservative than the 11th right?

Why didn't they comply with court orders ? GA republicans have so much to lose to have a Map being drawn by the courts.

Judge Jones had the scheduled hearing on whether to give the legislatures maps the okay. An order on the next steps is expected quickly.

How bad could this redraw go? Do you think it could threaten their legislative majority?
